JoeS09 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) I have sent the attached .dxf files to be cut out on a CNC machine, but the operator says it is full of 3D data that needs to be removed first. I have never used 3D, so wonder how it got in there, and how to remove it. I have even tried locking off the hidden lines and dimensions as shown in one file, to no avail Hoping someone can please assist Tray 141 x 45_2016.dxf Tray 141 x 45_2018_layers deleted.dxf Edited March 9, 2021 by JoeS09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 You have a lot of blocks and other unused elements in your drawing. You should run the PURGE command and remove these things from the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS09 Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Thanks CAD64, very much appreciated. Have done that, waiting to see if the CNC accepts that purged file Purged -Tray 141 x 45_2016.dxf Edited March 9, 2021 by JoeS09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Perhaps when you make the DXF file, you should choose the objects instead of making a DXF of the whole file. That way you would know what was in the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
